Water demand management: selecting the measures to implement in your region. A decision making support guide for local authorities

This methodological guide is written for local authority managers who have questions concerning the implementation of Water Demand Management (WDM) measures in their region.

The guide aims to:

  • Present an overview of the WDM measures that can be applied in the Mediterranean;
  • Suggest a methodology for characterising, assessing and ranking WDM measures using a multi-criteria costbenefit analysis;
  • Support local policymakers in selecting the WDM measures most suited to their region’s priority needs.
